Cannot Get SV_DOWNLOADURL To Work!...

[EdwardTobia]

Hi guys,
I have tried getting sv_downloadurl to work on my home server as i want to use custom maps but running from the server itself would lag the hell out of it. This is what i have done to try get it working but have not succeeded:

link i would like to use: http://********/cstrike/

in this directory i have a maps folder with the map i would like to have.

in the server.cfg i have sv_downloadurl "http://********/cstrike/"
i also have sv_allowdownload 1 and sv_allowupload 1

I then put +map ka_soccer_2006_v2 in the servers command line but when loading the server it says that there is no such map...

what am i doing wrong :S?

All help appreciated!

Regards,
Edward Tobia.

might sound stupid but you also need the map on the server itsself.

you need the .bsp version of the map on the server not the zipped one, also only have 1 version for download you have both right now so get rid of one.

lol yea u gotta have the original .bsp map on the server.

ROFL how stupid am i!

but if i put the bsp on the server, then use sv_downloadurl to download from my webhost, when people connect wont it download from the server pc and not the webhost?

Sorry for the confusion
Edward.

no the downloadURL is a mirror of the original custom server directories/files.
The server still needs to have the files to load and use them.
downloadurl will redirect people that have to download to the specified link.
